Join the CAI Greater Houston Chapter on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 8:30 am to help reduce litter, protect our ocean, and raise awareness about litter and plastic pollution. Stick around afterwards and join us for lunch at Fish Tales (a short walk from meeting location)! Lunch is only provided to those who assist with the cleanup, walk-ins after the event will not be provided lunch.

Meeting Location: Galveston Island (Menard Park: 2222 28th Street on Seawall Blvd.) >>> CLICK HERE TO REGISTER — PLEASE BE SURE TO LIST YOUR COMPANY NAME AS "CAI HOUSTON" SO THAT WE CAN EASILY IDENTIFY OUR GROUP <<< 

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Texas Adopt-A-Beach program! Make plans to join us and volunteers around the world as we clean shores during the International Coastal Cleanup. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the cleanup is from 9 am until 11:00 am.

Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. Adopt-A-Beach will provide all necessary cleanup materials.

About the Texas Adopt-A-Beach Program:

Since the first cleanup in 1986, more than 551,000 Texas Adopt-A-Beach volunteers have picked up nearly 10,000 tons of trash from Texas beaches, some of it originating from as far away as South America.

Due to tide patterns in the Gulf, trash dumped anywhere in the gulf is likely to end up on a Texas beach. Volunteers record information such as the source and type of debris collected on data cards. This data has been instrumental in the passage of international treaties and laws aimed at reducing the amount of offshore dumping.

Keeping Texas beaches clean and safe is an economic as well as environmental priority. Coastal tourism, a $7 billion industry, and commercial fishing, a $1.9 billion business, demand clean beaches and a healthy gulf to thrive.
